Deconstructing urban flooding from the perspective of vulnerable communities in Northwestern Pakistan
The study aimed to deconstruct urban flooding in Peshawar (one of Pakistan's rapidly urbanizing cities) from the perspective of flood vulnerable communities. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, synthesizing qualitative data with quantitative geospatial analyses of Land-Use/Land-Cover change and flood exposure. Qualitative data were collected through the Focus Group Discussion and In-depth Interviews checklist with a total s…
Gauri’s Lesbianist and Separatist Identity in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland
This paper explores the sexual identity of Gauri, a radical character in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland. Gauri’s copulation with a woman named Lorna clarifies her lesbian self and her parting from her parents, in-law’s house, husband, and even her own daughter, and finally, avoidance of traditional responsibilities of motherhood specifies her separatist status. Evidence of her sexual orientation implies her denial of patriarchal authoritativeness, a…
Analyzing and conceptualizing Pakistan’s pioneering disaster risk communication Mobile application
Pakistan’s vulnerability to disasters necessitates effective disaster risk communication. This study presents a conceptual model of the PDMA Madadgar Application (hereinafter Madadgar) for subsequent code development and testing. Employing the design science research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews from the purposefully selected sample participants and analyzed through the content analysis method. Our findings highlight …
Testing and evaluation of Pakistan’s pioneer disaster risk communication app
This case study examines the PDMA Madadgar Android-based App, developed as Pakistan’s pioneer disaster risk communication platform for communities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Building on our previous work, which outlined the App’s conceptual design and architecture, this study presents findings on testing, evaluation, and the final product, i.e., the PDMA Madadgar App. We have used the Design Sciences Research methodology to collect, co-creat…
Projected impact of heat stress on work performance, population exposure, and mortality in the Arabian Peninsula
This study investigates projected changes in heat stress in a changing climate and their impacts on population exposure, work performance, and mortality in the Arabian Peninsula (AP). The findings demonstrate an intensification in future heat stress across the AP, with a projected increase in extreme caution and danger days under SSP5-8.5, compared to SSP2-4.5 and SSP1-2.6 scenarios. The coastal cities are projected to experience higher heat stre…
Spatiotemporal dynamics of landslide susceptibility under future climate change and land use scenarios
Mountainous landslides are expected to worsen due to environmental changes, yet few studies have quantified their future risks. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the eastern Hindukush region of Pakistan. A geospatial database was developed, and logistic regression was employed to evaluate baseline landslide susceptibility for 2020. Using the latest coupled model intercomparison project 6 models under three shared socio…
Ocean–atmosphere circulation coherences associated with temperature increase in Pakistan
In recent decades, temperature variations have significantly affected the ecosystem and human livelihood in Pakistan. The wavelet analysis is employed to identify the associations between regional temperature change and global teleconnections, i.e. Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), Arctic Oscillation (AO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Tropical Northern Atlantic In…
Crime of Men, Punishment of Nature and Voice of the Irish
Ecocriticism analyzes literary texts from environmental perspective to show the changes and impacts of nature upon people and their lives. William Butler Yeats uses elements of nature and blends history with legend in ‘The Curse of the Fires and of the Shadows’ where history says, Hamilton burnt Sligo Abbey in 1642 and legend says, a troop of Hamilton got lost in the deep fog and a man on a white horse misled them, which caused their doom. Yeats’…

Changes in photovoltaic potential over China in a warmer future
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology offers a promising path for addressing energy demand and mitigating climate change. However, climatic conditions relevant to the productivity of solar power may be changed in a warmer future. Here, we quantify the impact of climate change on PV potential over China based on high-resolution climate projections within the framework of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX). Our results in…
Projected changes in mild weather frequency over China under a warmer climate
Previous studies have largely focussed on changes in mean climate state and climate extremes under a warmer climate, and little is known about changes in mild weather, which is a positive and pleasant condition and is highly related to human outdoor activities. Although changes in observed mild weather frequency over China, and their drivers, have been revealed, the understanding of how mild weather evolves with projected warming is still limited…
Characteristics of human thermal stress in South Asia during 1981–2019
Climate change has significantly increased the frequency and intensity of human thermal stress, with relatively more severe impacts than those of pure temperature extremes. Despite its major threats to public health, limited studies have assessed spatiotemporal changes in human thermal stress in densely populated regions, like South Asia (SAS). The present study assessed spatiotemporal changes in human thermal stress characteristics in SAS, based…
